strikes and the mind turns off and
one stares straight ahead.
Blank, unseeing eyes
front for a soul in torment;
a visage forlorn.
But a mental slap
is all it takes. A hug or
kiss or warm embrace.
Melancholy flees
like the thief it is, in the
face of love's sweet touch.

Nice one Lou :)
I dreamt that you came to visit!
Any trips to Aus planned that you haven't told me about?

Awe, there isn't much that love's sweet touch cannot fix.
you've got it! love's sweet touch does do that...
A hug can cure many ills. Nicely done, Lou.
Oh, oh, oh. This is so beautiful.
Lovely, Lou. A loving touch is like a blessing.
Lou- very well done.

"Melancholy flees like the thief it is"
